Hello everyone.
My boyfriend has come back home after 6 months in Afghanistan. That should be wonderful, right? Nope.
Where do I start. During his leave, communication was great between us. We talked about the fun we'd have once he returned, etc. He also mentioned how he did not want to do too much once home as he needed to get his things taken care of at home. We decided together to have a peaceful weekend together doing errands and resting.
The 1st day that he arrived was awesome, just like before he was deployed. He actually said so.
The next day, he told me that he was going to hang with his friends the next night. He asked if I had a problem with that. I said that I did not have a problem with him going, and I was a wee bit disappointed as I understood us to be hanging together. Well, that was it, he dumped me saying that I do not give him his freedom and he feels guilty for not being here during his deployment, etc. (I was sick, car acc, etc) Needless to say, he went to see his friends. The next day he went to see other friends. He said that he'd call on his way through and stop by to talk. I got a call, but was already sleeping as I had to work the next day.Now, he is in the USA seeing other friends of his.
Why does he feel the need to let me know his whereabouts when he dumped me? Is he having a hard time adjusting? I am trying to be understanding although very sad that this is happening. I can understand that perhaps it is easier for him to be with his friends, as he feels free. Is this a typical experience from someone being "confined" for 6 months?
I am in such a daze.
